He was born in 1991 in Turku, Finland, to a pair of loving parents. Coming to love everything to do with computers and the internet, he began writing and roleplaying by post online in 2003, developing a knowledge of and growing love for the English language at the same time.

After an extra year of middle school - mainly to figure out what he wanted to do with his life - he entered vocational school to study car body repairs and painting, combined with the academic secondary school studies in a double-examination program. He dropped out after finishing two and a half years out of the three year school as the result of a particularly bad mental health situation at the time. Starting in the summer of 2011 he entered the Finnish Defence Forces, was trained as an NCO for an anti-armour missile system, entering the reserve after 12 months of service.

After his service, he spent a couple of years bouncing between Finland and Norway, spending time with his current fiancée. He finally moved to Norway in mid-2014 and began a serious attempt to settle himself down and begin a writing career with his fiancée's loving support.

In addition to his writing, Teo also was the first Dungeon Master for STD&D, a Dungeons & Dragons show over on The Seppola's channel. He also runs a roleplaying-focused Twitch channel called Banteroll.
